[PATCH 0/8] netfs/cachefiles: Some bugfixes

Hi!

This patchset involves some general cachefiles workflows and the on-
demand loading process. For example, the eighth patch fixes a memory
ordering issue in cachefiles, and the fifth patch includes some cleanup.
These all related to changes in the general cachefiles workflow, and I
think these deserve some attention.

Additionally, although the current EROFS on-demand loading mode based on
cachefiles interaction might be considered for switching to the fanotify
mode in the future, I believe the code based on the current cachefiles
on-demand loading mode still requires maintenance. The first few patches
here are bugfixes specifically for that.

Therefore, I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could take some time
to review these patches. So friendly ping.

Thanks,
Zizhi Wo
